Typing the date today and am like crap, it is March 20 already, that means Marathon Day is less than a month away. I think I need time to stop for a bit so I can catch up.
I am definitely going to be one of the lowest mileage runners at the starting line on Marathon Monday - but for my body too that means less change on injury, every time I go over 35 miles for a week, aches and pain persist and eventually an injury sets in.
Hopefully my unorthodox preparation will be right for me on the day itself.
Ran 5 miles this morning, felt good throughout, wanted to keep going but time was an issue.
Weather: 32F
Avg Pace: 9:32
Avg HR: 154
Max HR: 165
Great improvement the last few weeks in my heart-rate, now just need to get legs stronger. I have also been doing lots of upper-body weights, and strengthing. I would love great Abs who would not, but I just the exercises involved in getting them.
Either way I am forcing myself through push-ups and sit-ups as when I did my only prior marathon my back hurt more than my legs afterwards..... need to strengthen the core...
